Freezing Time and Bowl Preparation

The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. You can take it out any time for immediate use. In general, freezing time is between 6 hours and 22 hours. To determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. We recommend that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is the coldest. Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.

Making Frozen Desserts or Drinks

Use Cuisinart recipes included in the Instruction Booklet or use your own recipe, making sure it yields 2 quarts or less. Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than 1/2-inch from the top. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, prepare the ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.
Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer and place on the center of the base. The bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from the freezer. Use it immediately after removing from freezer.
Place mixing bowl arm in freezer bowl. Arm does not fit tightly. It just rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
Place lid on the base. Easy lock lid mechanism allows the lid to rest on base in multiple positions.
Turn the On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin to turn.
Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout.
Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in 25-35 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert or drink you are making. When the mixture has thickened to a soft serve consistency, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.

Adding Ingredients

Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert or drink has began to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.

Looks great on a counter, works well January 17, 2010

By Steven M. Palmer

Amazon Verified Purchase

Pros:
Excellent appearance, one of the few appliances I have out on my counter, get compliments/questions frequently.
Works well (makes a great cinnamon chocolate ice cream!)
Great warranty
Very durable ice bowl

Cons:
Even with a solid freeze of the bowl you'll need to put the ice cream in the freezer for an hour or two afterwards. Just too soft for more than a little taste.
Slightly cheap inner ice cream mixer apparatus (plastic on plastic gears/blades)
Any heavy mixings added towards end still fall to bottom due to soft consistency and poor stirring

So far, so good! July 14, 2009

By Discerning Mom

I've only used this once, to make plain vanilla ice cream (following the recipe in the manual), and the ice cream was excellent. Like other machines out there, it is a bit deceiving to think you can have fresh ice cream made in 30 minutes; the reality is the inside container must be frozen for hours before-hand, and many recipes require that the mix be refrigerated for several hours before being made. It is also a fairly loud machine while in use, so I won't be using it when my children are sleeping. The end result, however, is very good.

ICE CREAM FAN January 15, 2011

I was looking for a replacement for our old salt and ice electric ice cream maker. I first tried a Lello maker with its own compressor, but did not have luck with freezing. My second purchase is this Cuisinart ICE-35 and I am very happy with it.
TIPS: Freeze bowl in the back of your freezer or deep freeze it for 24 hours and chill the mix beforehand.

By doing this, I was able to make two consecutive batches without re-freezing the bowl. DO NOT however try to add any mix to a batch already started. Wait until one finishes, empty it then pour in second.

Also, I would like to add that my family did not care for the vanilla recipe included in the given booklet.

Did not give it a 5 star rating because the the ice cream is not the same smoothness as say DQ.
